Petri Heil

Climbing "Petri Heil" (5+) at Martinswand is a rewarding experience. The route, known for its solid rock and varied climbing, offers a good challenge for climbers comfortable with this grade. The initial sections often involve some stemming and thoughtful footwork to overcome slightly overhanging sections. Further up, the route tends to ease off slightly with more juggy holds, but maintaining focus is key as exposure increases. Proper placement of protection is essential throughout, as runouts can be present in certain areas. Reaching the top provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape, making the effort entirely worthwhile. It's important to check current conditions, as the Martinswand can be affected by weather and moisture, potentially impacting the rock's grip. A standard rack of quickdraws and a few cams in smaller sizes are recommended.
